Commons scored 31 goals from attacking midfield in a season. Granted a bit further forward than Armstrong has for the majority of this year but lets be honest... if Rogic had stayed fit a lot of Armstrong's goals would have probably been shared with Tom. EDIT - Just to say that I think we'll miss Armstrongs energy and link up play more than his goals. We have goals all over the team. Edited by Ste, 16 Jul 2017, 09:37 PM.

Yep, that's true. Commons was our main man that season without doubt. He was playing a fair bit further forward than Armstrong was though as you say. Hard to say what would have happened if Rogic had been fit all season, he wasn't. Armstrong got in and stayed in the team on merit. |

we may well be well covered in midfield but it would still be a blow to lose both Armstrong and Roberts in the one window..both major players for us in the last 6 months of the season...consolation being Rogers wont let him go on the cheap |

I think everyone would agree with this. The hope is that if he does go and we get £5-10m for him the money goes straight to replacing Paddy which would soften the blow - especially with Ntcham in. |

The Armstrong from last season and the player from the previous 18 months were not the same. One we'll miss, one not so much. Which one he actually is, well that's what he would have proved this season. Everyone is replaceable just not like for like, that's all. We move on, we continue to develop and create our identity. We'll do that with Armstrong or without him. We have Brendan. All is well. |

Well, he's being offered money down there that we shouldn't match. He's had one (very) good season for us and we'd be getting a fee well above what we payed for him with a year left on his deal. Not the worst situation, really. Between Ntcham, McGregor, Rogic, Kouassi and Benyu we should be well set in that area anyway |

Ach, it's a shame, thought he could have turned into a genuinely cracking player with us. We'll survive but it's a bit of a blow nonetheless. |

So - if this is true - Armstrong is clearly not as bright as we thought he was. If it's purely about money, then an intelligent player would work out that, under another year with Brendan, he could possibly move to a really top club and earn far more than a move this season. So surprised that a footballer doesn't want to lift trophies or play in European games. Maybe he should have a conversation with Bertie Auld and ask him what he remembers about his pay-days! |

I'll be disappointed if he goes but it's not a disaster. And like others have said , we have enough in midfield and we'd like the money to go into the Roberts fund please. |

While I'd like both, if that's the choice I'll take Roberts. |
